What's the thread starter on about then? Are you affiliated with the club or just mental/trolling?

Sounds like somebody trolling. Seems hes read about the seminars and seen a couple of pictures and decided to jump to a mental conclusion. I dont think any new gym could start up and within a year take over from the dnft as scotlands top fight team it would take many years to get to that sort of level. Lets get real here guy!!!!!

Isn't Antonine a charity-run club opened with a mind to getting people in the community interested in sport. I am pretty sure it's not setup with a mind to being a professional fight gym producing a professional team. If however down the line they produce fighters then fair play to them, but DNFT will be top dogs for a long time to come yet.

Place looks really awesome in the photos! As for Eddie bravo and Ross Pearson 'coaching' there, think that's a little bit of a stretch on the truth. I believe, (and may be wrong) that Eddie Bravo's style of BJJ is being taught there (10th planet) and Ross Pearson hosted a seminar at the gym.

I hope they do well and do have an active MMA team in the future, would be interesting & healthy for the Scottish scene.

Eddie uses a ranking system where he gives out tshirts instead of belts. Blue rashguard for blue belt ranking etc no need for belts when u dont have gis!!!! Not sure if these are officially recognised tho just used in his school. I thot ur level was set by ur gi level ie if ur a purple belt in bjj with gi u were purple belt in no gi for competition purposes. Again im no 100% sure and maybe different competitions use different rules.

Antonine MMA have Ross Pearson and Eddie bravo coaching there. Give it a year and they will be the team to beat in scotland

Nah you're way off mate.

Ive trained at the antonine gym (weights room) for couple years as its a cheap and local gym to me, and although the mma addition to the centre i.e. ring / cage / bags etc is a shiny new set up.. its not as far as im aware a dedicated 'fight team' or even an mma 'club'.

They have a mixed timetable with grappling / thai and judo etc (The judo is a separate club called Titan Judo..)

But ive never been along to any grappling sessions there as I train on/off at the d-uint and griphouse, so cant comment on the quality of the 10th planet stuff thats taught.

They have had 2 seminars so far, Dan Hardy and Ross Pearson.. F#ck knows where you got the idea Person and E.Bravo coach there??
